Gravure Photobook Free _top_

The photobook is the holy scripture of this genre. In Japan, the shashinshu (photo collection) is an object of devotion. These are rarely cheap, flimsy magazines. They are heavy, perfect-bound volumes printed on high-quality, coated stock. The paper weight, the binding, the smell of the ink—these are sensory experiences that a JPG file on a screen can never replicate.
